Course Description

Are you aware that the average professional spends approximately 8 hours a day at a desk, culminating in an astounding 1,920 hours annually, if not more? This eye-opening statistic sheds light on a silent epidemic affecting countless individuals within the modern workforce: the plethora of health challenges stemming from a sedentary work life. In today's fast-paced world, where technology reigns supreme and desk jobs are more common than ever, understanding the ramifications of prolonged sitting and inactivity is crucial.
